Max Children Issue and SA timeouts

I haven't had time to read up on converting my bayes from 2.55 to 2.63 and I
really need to test the conversion before I roll 2.63 out into production.
I tend to rely heavily on my bayes for effective filtering.  But, since I
keep getting pointed in this direction, I will escalate my priority on
getting this upgraded.  (I was hoping to wait until SA3/MS4.3 was stable,
but that will probably take awhile).

When I saw the SA timeout count at 0 on the box with the bayes problem, I
was in even less of a hurry to fix it.  Here is my bayes directories on both
boxes:

Box1 (sporadic MS process count, *lock.box* files disappear and reappear
constantly)

Looks like my toks are getting pretty big on box2.  Could this be party of
the problem?

Thanks again for all of your help!
